Oh, what a beautiful...
In an attempt to make friends with other mums and babies in our neighbourhood, Mollie and I went to a local breastfeeding support group this lunchtime.
I'd read somewhere that to win round other mums you should compliment their babies so I'd been practicing my cooing in the mirror all morning.
But once there, I came up against a whole new problem - how to admire a baby when you can't tell the sex?
Apart from Mollie who is quite clearly a very beautiful little girl, other people's babies are pretty androgynous looking.
And I'm thinking nothing scuppers a potential friendship more than calling the other mum's daughter a 'handsome wee fellow'.
Can anyone advise me how to get round this tricky issue?

I got round it by asking whats the georgous little ones name. Although it can be tricky if its a bisexual name
Thanks for the tip, Marion. I had a taste of my own medicine last weekend when someone called Mollie an 'it'. How rude!
